Our thread of ICE and Border Patrol sex offenders is up to 53 agents, with many more to go.
Patrick Andrew Hamburg, 46, a Customs and Border Protection officer from International Falls, MN, was sentenced on Aug 16, 2011 to 7 and a half years in prison for sexually assaulting a preteen girl over a period of several years. Hamburg moved to Montana after his release from prison.

34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is
More than 34,000 Minnesotans signed up to be trained as ICED observers with various activist groups in recent weeks, many of them since Jan. 7, when a federal agent shot and killed Renée Good.
Thousands of new ICE watchers hit the streets after two killings
Minnesotans outraged by the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti have signed up in large numbers to monitor and protest ICE with other activists.

I wonder if there’s good resources for protest beginners about how to tell the difference between higher and lower risk protests.
If you’ve been doing it for a long time you can just kinda feel it out, but for those who haven’t….

I think people think all protests have the same risks, and they don't. I saw something here or on tiktok about high-risk vs low risk protests and mostly I've only been to low risk protests, and those can be fun! The high risk ones though...point is they are both important.

We can’t trust the President, DOJ, DHS, or DOD to follow the law. We can’t trust SCOTUS either, and Congress is out to lunch.
We don’t have a constitutional crisis. We have a broken constitution.

I’ve written a detailed report on the Greg Bovino-to-Tom Homan handover in Minneapolis that at once reveals that the Trump regime hasn’t changed its plans for ICE *and* serves as a primer on the many aspects of the criminal justice system that Homan lied about today. So I think you’ll enjoy this.
Trump Border Czar Tom Homan Told 20 Lies in the First 240 Seconds of His First Minneapolis Press Conference
Members of Congress are for some reason lauding a presentation by a top immigration official that was littered with lies about the criminal justice system, ICE, citizen protesters and the Democrats.

Belichick had a dreadful season at NC, got denied the 1st ballot HOF bid and has to watch his old team with a much more likeable coach in the Super Bowl. At least his girlfriend is an influencer!

Trump doesn't care about the 2020 election results in Atlanta.
He just wants the FBI to get him their voter database so he can rig the midterms in Georgia.

Possibly my favorite thing about Minnesota right now is they’re devastating the idea that nice means soft.
MAGA relies on the idea that they can bully their way to the outcomes they want.
They’ve been forced to retreat because Minnesotans love their neighbors and they know when and how to fight.

The Right can’t fathom the idea of people believing in anything, in trusting others, in being willing to sacrifice themselves to keep strangers safe.
All they understand is self-service. This is why they can say anything. Why their principles were never real. This is why they’re so afraid.

what bari weiss is doing is bad and dangerous, but as someone who has watched the rw media world for decades now -- weiss is like a discount bargain basement roger ailes. like karl rove, ailes was an evil genius. weiss is a dummy. still dangerous, but a dummy.
I think they know this deep down but don't care because propaganda at this scale is still powerful. And they've got to MAHA Fox's MAGA. It's easy to laugh at Bari sucking, because it is funny, but a serious problem in the longer term.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of the medium and its consumers. Successful podcasters and intellectual dark web types won’t appeal to CBS’s existing viewer base and aren’t likely to bring lots of new viewers / readers into the fold. Recreating The Free Press at scale is a fool’s errand.
